When I first heard the term "Action Research," I had some confusion; to me it seemed that "action" and "research" were two terms that didn't go together - action meant doing and research meant reviewing literature. However, after talking with Margareet and viewing the first two videos, I had some "aha" moments where it started to make sense. In my instructional practice, I have always been interested in trying new things and feel I have developed a high level of "innovative expertise." However, there has always been the nagging thought in my head that I need to slow down and reflect more on my practice and understand why certain approaches are and are not effective. I like the term "adaptive expertise" where I have the opportunity to learn in and from my practice with an intentionality that has been lacking. With this blog post, I am excited to be taking the first step in this direction!
